Rio Retreat Center - Wickenburg, Arizona

I found my experience at Rio retreat to be extremely powerful. I have worked in this field and a number of the educational concepts were known to me already. Nonetheless when I did the experiential work it was powerful and transformative. Just a couple days later I continue to find new insights and connections with the childhood issues that I need help addressing. The staff was remarkably insightful and gifted. The program information was up-to-date and directly relevant to my needs. Intake was easy even though I signed up at the last minute I received a lot of support getting everything taken care of including figuring out transportation etc. etc.

I've done both Survivors I and II. It answered the many concerns I wasn't getting addressed in my 38 years of 12th Step recovery.

This was a whole new experience for me.
Jane who works for Meadows/rio retreats was the one guiding me,
With so much patience and professionalism.
she,listened and actually cared for what would be a suitable retreat for me.
I look so forward for this to be a success!
Jane, I personally thank you for your time, efforts, and energy.

My experience at Rio was life-changing and empowering. I feel secure and ready to face parts of life that have always been challenging and overwhelming for me. The program is top-notch, and I will definitely be going back someday.

I hate to leave a poor review, as I haven’t even gone to a retreat here. But I was signed up for a retreat and had worked my whole summer around the week I would be spending there: working remote, flying my children to stay with grandparents so I had childcare, really trying my best to prioritize this program because I believed it was Important. However two weeks before the retreat, after all flights had been purchased and logistics had been coordinated and kids had been delivered (to grandparents) (no easy feat when the retreat is $5k and then figuring out logistics for 4 children) the program was canceled. They have said they will refund my retreat expenses, but I am still out of pocket for the expenses for all my children’s plane tickets and my tickets. I’m terribly disappointed and won’t be able to reschedule. I hear the actual retreat is great. I just wasn’t able to experience it.

My review is based on what REMUDA RANCH once stood for. I was here 2x for Anorexia and it WAS a BIBLICALLY BASED treatment center, started by Ward & Kay Keller. They saved my life and taught me how to build a NEW life, WITHOUT an eating disorder. The new owners took GOD out of the equation and there is NO LIFE without God in it. Sad, just SAD to see it now 14 years later....

Rio Retreat Center at the Meadows has led the way for over 40 years in bringing hope and healing to those in need and has developed a model that is effective for those struggling with trauma, substance use, process addictions or general mental health. Rio specially has a variety of workshops to help and aid those who may have need for more than what once a week therapy can provide. Get the healing and recovery you deserve in one week in what may take you years in individual counseling.

It is an honor to walk alongside the dedicated and compassionate team who's calling is to lean in and help those of us during our hardest days.

The Meadows is the only program in the world who is blessed to have a team of Senior Fellows who are the industry thought leaders helping guide, train and design their programs, which speaks to their quality and mission!

A truly miraculous place where I am humbled to see miracles happen on a daily basis!

I took the relational trauma workshop. It is a lovely facility, really good food, the workshop was good. I would not recommend to anyone who suffered religious abuse or has objections to their treatment being "informed" by religion. They proudly display the arrogance (and ignorance) of AA - even in completely unrelated workshops - use the lingo, and demonstrate the same invasive insistence on Abrahamic religion as the end-all, be-all for everyone. Atheists might want to look elsewhere.
